"I can understand though how grumpy a man can get, let alone a black man, in Milwaukee during the middle of Winter. Move South Mr. Anderson! ;) "

Amen! Although I'm not a black man, all this greyness drives a person mad...

However, I think we're going a little overboard on all the 'evil' comments. Some people take that a little more seriously than others. Now, I don't think anything is evil. But some make take that to mean a complete absence of good. And it might be offensive to them.

It might also be offensive to compare killing dogs to eat them with killing humans because they were considered impure.

All politicians in a position to profit from war in any way shape or form should be required to divest themselves of all stocks and payments before. The current Administration and their "no bid" contracts are as corrupt as any third world nation.

Imagine if 20% of Americans decided to not file thier taxes this year unless there was a change..... Hell give me one single change for the positive. Perhaps makeing no bid goverment contracts against the law....... As it is these contracts that prove my point about a corrupt administration.

It really sucks to be a liberal looking at everything from a completely cynical point of view doesn't it? I commend your courage to carry on in the face of such a dismal image of the country in which you live.

If they ever outlawed the libs' right to beeotch about every blessed thing, they'd surely off themselves.

Lowflier, I am far from a liberal! lol. Why is it that everyone either gets classed as a liberal or a conservative when they take a exception to a political issue.

Example:
I could care less about domestic spying as I have nothing to hide.

I am pro death penalty! I just wish in cases of unequivical proof that the sentance would be immediate.

I think Cindy Sheehan should be shot.

Lol far from liberal. In fact I am not a Democrat, nor a Republican. I take issues solely on thier merit. My political decisions are made with absolutely no party in mind.

"Why is it that everyone either gets classed as a liberal or a conservative when they take a exception to a political issue."

I was not labeling anyone, but the answer to this question is quite simple. You seem to have nothing positive to say about our government. That is a telling sign for most liberals nowadays. Liberalism is about sustaining a certain divisiveness among groups of people. They then feed on the gaps between these groups of people. It doesn't matter if it's Christian vs. atheist; vegetarians vs. meateaters; gay vs. straight; rich vs. poor; black vs. white; union vs. business; etc... As long as they can keep people believing in an 'us vs. them' scenario, they can garner support to stay in power. One of the clever things they do is create catch phrases like "big oil" and "big business." These things sound just plain menacing to the average "working family."

Conversely, conservatives thrive on relative unity. If there are no divisive gaps among groups of people, the free market can run wild. Conservatives do well in a free market. They can do too well and will quite readily take advantage. That is why God made liberals.

You seem to get some satisfaction out of calling the President names and pontificating about no-bid contracts and governmental corruption. From my perspective, that makes you look like a liberal. Whether or not you are a liberal today is for you to decide.

I will add that there is nothing wrong with being a liberal. I think most of us start life as liberals. It takes the school of hard knocks and a modicum of success to break average people of their liberal mindset. That is why most Hollywood actors remain libs. Many of them generally have no real concept of coming from and rising above hard labor to eventually create earnings from their earnings.

I am a conservative by definition then! I wish we could all be unified. And kick GW and his band of not so merry men straight out of the Whitehouse! And lowflier you are correct. I don't have much positive to say about our goverment right now. Although I am sure they are doing a decent job of protecting us from another 911. Lord knows enough people want to kick the USA's collective arse. so at least GW is doing something right.

That's funny . . . I don't recall the automakers forcing us to drive gigantor SUVs and other low mileage behemoths. It seems painfully obvious from here that American consumers demand massive vehicles and are perfectly fine with poor mileage. Detroit simply gave the consumers what they wanted. What good would it do to punish automakers? Perhaps you'd like to punish fast-food joints for offering high-calorie foods as well?

<sigh> I'm not troubled by the killing. I'm troubled by the egregiously cruel beating of still living breathing yelping screaming suffering dogs.

I might be wrong, but I believe trucks and SUVs aren't included in the present standards.I've certainly not said anything about "punishing" Detroit or anyone else.
My beef is with the myth that got started in the Reagan years that says Corporate America is always going to do what's best for America if left to it's own devices.
The greatest strategic threat this country faces is the finite supply of oil.The fact is that the American people,as a whole, are too short-sighted to see it and too self-centered to care.
I fully acknowledge that its my fuzzy-headed liberal way of thinking that tells me its just WRONG for this country to be so frivolous in its use of a dwindling resource that the rest of the world is becoming more adept in conserving. We're cutting our own neck.


Don't know who said it,but "as Detroit goes, so goes the country."
Ruh Row...

None of the above is an attempt to convince anybody about anything, just my opinion.
Usual disclaimer applies.

Who do you think pays to meet CAFE?

I agree we need to use less oil, but mandating better fuel economy while demanding bigger and more powerful vehicles makes about as much sense as suing apple for hearing loss.

To use the analogy of cutting our own neck, changing CAFE merely gives us a smaller knife at someone else's expense.

The consumer pays.
That's the whole idea.

And it's not a punishment.

It's a consequence of a decision.

I think we need to clarify. The CAFE I'm referring to is Corporate Average Fuel Economy. The Corporation is the one who pays to meet it. The only punishment to the consumer is the strain on the eyes from having to look at the Aveos while shopping for a new truck or SUV.

Do you really not get it?

Evidently not.

I'm evidently wrong in my assumption that corporations pass the costs of doing business on to the consumer.

Oh well.

Thou shalt not highjack the man's thread!

I get no respect I tell ya.

I heard on the news today that the law in Columbia found a bunch of puppies that had been implanted with a 1/2 kilo bag each of liquid heroin. So as of right now this minute I hereby vow to never ever score any Columbian heroin.

Blake, you used to be so articulate. What happened? Tell ‘em one more time: You’re going to boycott all dog tenderizers!

Make dog-tenderizing illegal!

Then they’d have to start with one of these:

Little Dewey

I bet even a well-seasoned seal clubber couldn’t put one on the table.

The only table he would be on up this way would be to share a quick butchered steak dinner with me.

For the record I have never butchered a seal or would ever.
